About Us

Tom Culpepper

Tom graduated from The University of Dayton School of Law, and spent 5 years as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney prosecuting juvenile crimes, obtaining child support for minors, or protecting children from abusive and neglectful parents. This additional experience moved him to found Culpepper Law to meet the needs of growing families.

When not practicing law, Tom spends time with his most valuable assets—wife Wendi, and his three children Abigail, Grace, and Joshua--performing tasks such as helping teenagers learn to drive, washing dishes and cleaning house, to ensuring small boys make their beds and learn to mow the lawn.

"Could I climb to the highest place in Athens, I would lift my voice and proclaim, 'Fellow citizens, why do you turn and scrape every stone to gather wealth, and, yet, take so little care of your own children, to whom one day you must relinquish all.'"

– Socrates, 400s BC
